For the second time in a week, No. 5 Nebraska has dropped a five-set match on the road to a top-10 opponent. On Friday, that opponent was Wisconsin (13-4, 6-3) who took the final two sets to hand the Huskers (15-4, 6-3) their third loss in four matches.

Coach John Cook and sophomore opposite hitter Jazz Sweet discussed Nebraska first Big Ten road trip of the season and cited improved communication as a big factor in Nebraska's win over No. 7 Illinois on Saturday.

Coach John Cook took to the podium for his first Monday press conference of the year following Nebraska’s 1-1 showing at the VERT Challenge this weekend and had mostly good things to say about what he saw from his young team.

The Huskers won the serve and pass battle against one of the best serving teams in the Big Ten and got another big performance out of Annika Albrecht to take down No. 14 Michigan State in four sets and take sole possession of first place in the conference.

In this week's edition of Conversation with Cook, Coach John Cook discussed the way he prepares for weekend back-to-backs, the way his hitters have been producing lately and the role a true freshman defensive specialist has played.
